Failure Studies

After its successful run at the Greater Manchester Fringe 2021, Precarious Theatre brings the hilarious and terrifying world of Failure Studies to Bristol's Alma Tavern.

A journal editor, a co-editor, and their intern explore what it means to work, live and rebel in our world today. Our society constantly reassures us that failure is an intermediate stage in a process that eventually leads us to happiness, but how truthful is this? If we keep trying, do we fail better, or do we fail 'worse'?

"A highly confident production... Satirising the absurdities, petty cruelties and extreme practices of the modern workplace" - British Theatre Guide.

"A brilliantly acted piece devised from a novel concept that feels as if it is ready to immediately hit a much bigger stage." - The Greater Manchester Reviewer.

All tickets include a £1 transaction charge
